Albanese, Plibersek expected to make Labor leadership bid

In the wake of a shocking Labor election loss, Bill Shorten has announced he's stepping down as the party's leader, sparking questions over who will replace him.
Party frontbencher Anthony Albanese will reportedly make a bid for the top job, while Deputy Labor leader Tanya Plibersek says she is 'considering it'.
Mr Albanese contested the leadership in 2015 against Mr Shorten and won the rank and file, but ultimately fell short after losing the caucus ballot.
While Mr Shorten has said he won't remain as the party's leader, he says he will remain in parliament as the member for Maribyrnong.
